Re: Guest Wireless Access

[Rob Milman <rob.milman () SAIT CA>]

We have a guest wireless network setup just for this purpose. We print cards with the SSID, userid and password and the 
following disclaimer;

"This network is the property of <institution name> and may be accessed only by authorized guests of <institution 
name>. Unauthorized use of this network is strictly prohibited and subject to criminal prosecution.
The data you send and receive over this network is not encrypted and may be viewed or intercepted by others. Use this 
network at your own risk. Privacy and security safeguards are the user's responsibility; this network does not provide 
any. <institution name> does not warrant or represent that this service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. 
Users should be aware that there are security, privacy, and confidentiality risks inherent in wireless communications 
and technology. Users should have no general expectation of privacy or confidentiality when using this network."

The password expires in 24 hours so a new one is posted if it's a multi-day conference.

Subject: [SECURITY] Guest Wireless Access

We have a situation where we need to set up temporary wireless access for 140 guests.  This access will be limited to 
Internet only.   If it were just one or two people, we would simply create a network account for them.  For obvious 
reasons, we don't want to do that for such a large number of temporary users.  Has anyone faced a similar issue and 
come up with a workable solution?  I would appreciate hearing from you.  Thanks.
